Hi, I have checked the cygwin mailing lists and read the relevant docs but still have problem getting chmod to work on my NT4 SP6 PC.
I have set the cygwin environment variable as below: $ cat cygwin.bat @echo off D: chdir \Program Files\Cygnus\bin set CYGWIN=binmode ntsec tty set PATH=d:/Progra~!/Cygnus/bin set HOME=d:/Progra~1/Cygnus/home set VISUAL=notepad set EDITOR=notepad bash --login -i Now whenever I 'touch' a file, e.g. touch test.file ...the permissions are set thus N_Turner@PC435 ~/temp $ touch tmp N_Turner@PC435 ~/temp $ ls -l total 0 -rwxrwxrwx 1 N_Turner Administ 0 Feb 7 14:22 tmp Do anybody have any idea why this is ? I hope I haven't missed something in the setup. By the way I'm using version 1.3.9.
